Get paid quickly. Accept any type of payment.

Accept any type of payment. Vend makes it easy for you to get paid. Set up custom buttons to accept cash, checks, gift cards or any payment type you want. Take deposits and partial payments on layaway sales, or let your customers pay on account.

Accept credit & debit cards, and mobile payments from leading merchant providers around the world. Paypal, Vantiv, Square, or Tyro are just some of the credit card and mobile payment options available to you. Connect your Vend POS system to one of them, and you could be accepting card payments in minutes!

Powerful inventory features. Vend’s point of sale system takes the pain out of managing stock, whether you have one store or hundreds. Because it is cloud-based software, you and your staff can instantly see which items are in stock, everywhere, in real time.

“Vend helps us provide products that people actually want. We’ve gotten rid of around 8-10% of our inventory that wasn’t selling, and that has allowed us to bring on another 100 items that are selling better.”

Dave Willson, Owner / Operator, Mom and Popcorn

Reach more customers. Then keep them coming back.

Take the POS to your customers. Repeat customers are the lifeblood of any retail business. Vend is mobile, so you can take your point of sale system onto the shop floor, beat the queues and build personal engagement with your customers. Or go truly mobile and hit the road to find new customers and markets.

Reward customer loyalty. With a built-in loyalty program, the Vend POS system lets you save your customer details in seconds, or offer them incentives to sign up after they leave the store, then keep them coming back by rewarding repeat purchases.

“Our customers and team are really loving it because we removed a lot of the barriers that an old point of sale created.”

Ann Donohue, General Manager, Jurlique

Frequently asked questions about our POS system.

How much is the cost to switch to Vend’s POS system?

You don’t need to spend a fortune to switch your current POS system over to Vend. We have a tiered pricing model where the costs depend on how big your business is.

Plans for our POS system start at US$69 per month and can go up to US$199 per month.

All of our plans include one free virtual POS register, but you can add as many registers as you need. Depending on the plan you select, registers start at US$39 per register per month. To get comfortable with our POS system, you should probably start with a free account so you can give us a test drive without investing too much from the get-go.

How much time does it take to set up Vend’s POS system?

This will depend on how many products you have and how busy you are. Some merchants complete the process within a couple of hours, but if you have tons of SKUs and not a lot of free time, it could take a couple of weeks.

We do understand that time is money for entrepreneurs, so in order to make setting up as quick and painless as possible, we recommend that you prepare CSV files of the following before starting the process:

Your current customer database (if you have one)

For more info, you might want to check out Vend’s POS Buyer’s Guide where we provide more information and checklists of what you may need when choosing and setting up your POS system. If you need someone to walk you through the process, just get in touch with us and support staff can assist you.

Vend also offers professional services that include hands-free setup (where we take care of everything, including migrating products and customers) and one-to-one training. Contact us for more information.

Alternatively, you can find a Vend partner in your area to provide on-site POS installation and account setup for you. Our partners are certified Vend POS experts who can get you up and running with the point of sale hardware, software, and add-ons you need to run your store.

Is Vend compatible with my existing POS hardware?

It’s very likely that Vend will play nice with the printers, scanners, credit card readers, and POS equipment you already have. We focus on making the software work with the best and most commonly used retail hardware and we’ve heard from retailers using Vend successfully with printers we’ve haven’t heard of.

Can’t find your existing POS hardware on our list of recommendations? Contact our Retail Solutions Specialists at sales@vendhq.com or sign up for a free account and see how Vend works with your store’s existing hardware.

I’m happy with my current POS system, why is Vend better for me?

You don’t have to take our word for it though; here are some examples of happy Vend customers and what they have to say about our POS system.
